 |
|
Okay, I'm setting up "proftpd" for an internal FTP access. Dreamweaver cannot access the server via "vsftpd" so I have to use something different.
As per the Gentoo/ProFTPd instructions, this is what I have:
| Code: | service proftpd
{
...
#Allow access from local network (ie, 192.168.0.0/24)
only from = 192.168.0.0/24
#And from two remote locations
only from = 10.1.1.2 sample.config.com
#Allow from anywhere
only from = 0.0.0.0
...
}
|
I know this is straight "out of the box" code. What do I really need, to be able to access the server via FTP from the 192.168.... and from nowhere else? How do I set it up for two users? |

Your best bet is to just use a firewall.
The guide you are following is only when you run proftpd through xinetd.
If you were to use that guide then the line would be:
| Code: |
service proftpd
{
only_from = 192.168.0.0/16
}

Thanks, that's what I was intending to do, use xinetd.
Any help on how to set it up for only my wife and I, as users?
I'm thinking that it can't be too hard but I'd hate to do this wrong and open a door. |

In proftpd.conf you can add:
| Code: |
<Limit LOGIN>
AllowUser userftp
DenyALL
</Limit>
|
Replace userftp with the username of the user to allow. I think for multiple users you can seperate with a space. If not try to add a seperate AllowUser line. |
